Neat projects:)

Your red regular cab is really good work:)

When I see the pictures of your projects, I allmost cant wait starting up mine, which I have been having on the yard for three years now....

Will start when the snow dissapears this spring... its a 1980 model, so it will be a classic this year...

Do you have a clutch for the A series with 5 speed ZF trans ?
I need both the disc and pressure plate.

I have one extra clutch but it is still mounted on spare engine+trans and I don't know
the condition of it. I think you shoud look from ebay I have seen few clutch packages
there and they are not so expensive.
